Trivia
While several actors from the films do appear and read passages of dialogues from the novels, none of them read any lines belonging to the actual characters they played in the films. This is so noticeable and consistent throughout that it must be deliberate.

some good exhibits

J.K. Rowling explores the real-world historical inspiration for her created world of Harry Potter. Some of the exhibits are gorgeous. It would be nice to explore more of the people behind the artifacts. I would prefer less talking heads especially those reading the Harry Potter books. I don't know why they don't simply show scenes from the movies. I really like that first document being unrolled. It's gorgeous. It could be clearer about a few sections and it needs to show their equivalents from the films.
